Description
Download for original file!I wanted to celebrate the announcement of Lei Lei's confirmation as a part of Marvel Vs. Capcom 3's character roster with a drawing
News: [link]
I actually simply finished this ol' sketch you can see here:
Now, get your facts straight, unlike some "professional" videogame reporters have been misusing the names.
This character is called Hsien-Ko aka Lei Lei in the Japanese version.
She is a Jiang Shi which isn't a "vampire" as some morons have been writting it, probably some TwiliTards. It means Chinese Zombie.
Her sister, Mei-Ling, isn't called Lei Lei (which is Hsien-Ko's original name) but Lin Lin in Japanese!
That's all I had to say.
Enjoy the pic~

Awesome work here. I'd be more impessed with the game is the roster was erm "more impressive"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Or just more surprising.
As much as I like the choices they made and all... none of the characters is much of a surprise.
They're mostly returning characters from MVC1/2, or usual "crossover characters" like Hsien Ko (Pocket Fighter) here or Viewtiful Joe (Tatsunoko Vs C).
Only the Taskmaster really impressed me! I wasn't expecting the guy to make the cut.
X23, well, I luv her but she's mostly a Wolverine clone... (gameplay and plot-wise)

Yeah X23 taking the place of a chrater that could be better suited for the game... Like Oh I dunno Daredevil, Ghostrider.... Emma Frost... Heck I settle for Weasel.

...and then we could have a perfect Deadpool Teamup!
Deadpool, Taskmaster and Weasel!
Or Cable!
Or Agent X!
Or, even more obscure, T-Ray!
Or his dwarf-clone Widdle Wade!
Or Bob!
...
Yeah, I really wanted to have a complete Team Deadpool to play with

Funnily enough I started drawing her because of this announcement as well. May have it online next week.

The thing about Lei-Lei and all Darkstalker characters is, their only loosely related to what they're betraying. She is a Jiang-Shi, or stiff corpse, but she also has traits from a Chinese hopping vampire. Which are different then traditional blood sucking vampires, but are more related to ghost. It's why she hops when she walks forward and is able to run on air. That's also why so many either view her as a zombie, hopping vampire, or ghost, because capcom basically made her a mixture of all three.

Well, you're right. All Darkstalkers/Vampire characters are tributes and homage, so they all incorporate lots of details from various monster tropes and whatnots.
But plotwise, she's still an undead revived zombie
On a sidenote: I love the cute Lei Lei icon you have there^^

The Jiang-shi = Chinese Zombie/Vampire thing has existed for a while. Jiang-shi are commonly compared to Vampire's since they are said to feed on your chi like an energy vampire.
Whichever one you prefer though, both are undead.
As for the pic, the lip kinda bugs me, but I like it.

Vampire: Blood sucking possessed people part of a "cult" or group.
Zombie: Undead revived body.
Naaaah!
I prefer chinese zombie.
"has existed for a while" which means in internet language, for a couple months.

No. Vampires are commonly considered as undead. IDK where you are getting this "cult" statement. Just because they maintain their bodies better then zombies doesn't make them not undead.
And no. The debate HAS existed for years. Even outside of Darkstalkers and Hsien Ko, various Chinese movies about Jiang-shi when translated to English would get translated to either zombie or vampire. Their is no agreement on it.

Well, then, my chinese films are usually subtitled in french "over here", so...

Hsien-Ko's been mistakenly called a vampire long before Twilight. Stop making up reasons to hate it!
Also, that's one chubby lip.

I've never seen so much gaming news website calling her a vampire as this week! In this "post-twilight" day and age...
I see my ol' game magazines...nope.. they called her a zombie back then
"making up reasons to hate it"...? Hate "it", what? Twilight? Hating twilight is good for the soul.

She looks really good but he voice is REALLY ANNOYING!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Her voice is part of her charm!
I wouldn't have it otherway
(like she was in the Darkstalkers series or in Pocket Fighter!)
And if you find that voice annoying, you've clearly not played enough fighting games!
